Jorte isnt bad for displaying texts each day in monthview, but symbols would be better.

Never cared much for Sense, to much graphics to little information.

IM+ sounds good, all in one +Skype would be great.

What me really bothers is that USB thingy, cant it unmount in backgroud without bothering me, even winmobile was able to do that.

Another question: Would trying out a lot of apps polute my OS like it happens with windows (leftover files and registry settings after uninstalling). Or ist Anrdois perfect in this matter.

If not i guess i would have to test a lot of apps till i find the ones i like, then hard rest and make a clean install, or wont this be nessesary in Android?
[Android Software Development] rigman:
From what I can tell, if you uninstall an app, everything is cleaned up with the exception of maybe a folder on your sdcsrd. And this generally only happens if the app has an optional setting that allows you to specify that the sdcard be used for backups or downloads, etc.

Pretty much true.
[Android Software Development] smaskell:
the sd card thing is really frustrating. sometimes apps add stuff to seemingly random folders on your sd card so you don't know if you can delete it or not. Apps should be forced to only create folders with the same name as the app. Also, I think you should be able to implement an "onUninstall" method or something in your app, with which you could delete all of the files that you created.

hey i just watched this video and it just made me laught out :D

watch it on your own :D

i don't speak chinese but i think they just released the arc there in a mall or something :)
[Xperia Arc General] Shutterspark:
:D How on earth do you move in that thing let alone pull off those moves?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] alanllew:
In case you hadn't read...

SE are going to update X10 to 2.3 this year but not mini/pro/X8

Feeling a little kicked in the teeth :D

Read all about it...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sathkartha:
Let's hope SE gives us FROYO as a consolation!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
I dont think so, as the reason SE are not giving the update is that they need to "prioritise" on other SE products.

Thanks a lot SE....u suck!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Man i feel the same way too! Its just damn unfair. No more SE for me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
Anyway who cares about SE......devs at xda are doing a better job than them...and xda devs have already ported x10 arc firmware to x10...so basically who needs to crave for se support when owain the dude is at work. :-P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Dude, if SE give the 2.3 update, devs might sit back and rest....as the only reason they were trying to crack the bootloader and all was to get the 2.3 modules/ kernels working on x10....now they are getting it, they dont need to do so.....though the update is coming in Q3, i hope we get to see our bootloader cracked before that...

Thanks to all the devs. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
Even if se releases official update,devs would definitely continue to improve it.....and SE will definitely add a patch in 2.3 update so as to void the progress made my devs..but x10 devs do deserve a vacation in hawaii ;-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
You bet they do. ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] wiilweer:
Hmm, I'm 99% sure, that dev's in our community will not abandon us. Well, from videos you can the laggy interface what Arc has...Running Froyo 2.2 on my mini, seems to be much better and fluid than GB on Arc.(Arc has also better hardware than mini does)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
It might even benefit us as it might be easier to port X10 ROM to X10 mini/pro. Am I wrong?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tux1n:
I would think so too. Well - these phones did come in a rather turbolent time of the mobilephone market, so the fact that they drop the support isn't all that surpricing. They need to look forward like most other companies in these times - those who fall, is left behind :)

>X10 mini pro - U20i - 2.0.2.A.0.24

>root,xrec,jit,link2sd,cus. key + bootanim
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Dude it isn't easy at all..........the x10 has completely different modules......that is why it will be pretty difficult but not impossible though........hope to see gingerbread (with 2.3 kernels and modules) on x10 mini......

[Android Software Development] alias_neo:
Hi Guys,

I have spent several years in the device specific forums here at XDA and finally I need some help from the community.

The company I work for is developing animated children's book for Android, iOS (and soon WinPhone7).

As an avid Android user, I find cross-platform applications are often sub-par on Android, and even across devices within the Android platform. Our company is dedicated to writing our applications from the ground up on each platform and particularly in the case of Android to ensure that our applications look great across all devices.

We are looking currently for users with Android devices to test and give feedback, volunteers are to send me a private message with their username, hardware devices they can test on and OSs. They will be send a custom build featuring their username.

The requirements and requested feedback is as follows:

Requirements:

Android Phone or Tablet

Stock OS preferrable.

MDPI or higher device.

An Interest in Children's books.

We would LOVE to have this tested on a Xoom Tablet.

Feedback:

Screenshots

OS Version

Device Name

Comments on performance and appearance.

Testing at the moment is focussing on the performance and appearance of the application but comments regarding the "story" and it's illustration that are relevent would also be appreciated.

I'm not sure if the rules of advertising apply here but if you require more information feel free to PM me and I can provide a link to our website pending allowance from admins to post our name and address.

UPDATE: Thank you for all those who have helped and provided feedback. My apologies to those who have not yet had replies. The BETA has now ended and the product will be releasing very soon.
[Android Software Development] ante0:
I'd like to beta test it.
[Android Software Development] alias_neo:

Hi all,

I have now sent out the first few copies of the application for testing. I have replied to all PMs with either an email wit hthe file and instructions where supplied, or a request for a contact email to which I can send further instructions and the application.

If I have missed anyone I apologies, please message me again and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I have had a large number of PMs and I'm only human so in between relaxing for the weekend I have tried to reply to everyone without missing any out.

Thanks again and I look forward to some feedback from the community.
[Android Software Development] KenZiva:
Me me me!

I'd love to test this out. My 3 year old and my soon-to-be-1 year old would love to be able to listen to different stories than the ones I've already bought. ^_^

And, to the person who wonders if this is practical... it truly is.

I'm sending a PM, hope I can be involved.
[Android Software Development] alias_neo:
Hi Guys,

Please do send in more PMs. We have have had several testers on the Motorola XOOM tablet so we don't really need many more of them, but please if you have other devices get in touch, the BETA will be running for a day or two longer.

I've moved this thread to Android Software Development. It's better here as you're requesting beta testers.

If the app is a paid app, unfortunately, you cannot post any links that could be seen as advertising.

Once you have come out of beta, you can request the have this thread moved back to the Paid Apps forum where you will be allowed to advertise your product.
[Android Software Development] alias_neo:
Send me an email: hamid [at] zubadoo [d0t] com

I'll get back to you with the testing instructions and APK.

Thanks for the update and the move.

[General Questions and Answers] CorneGeilings:
I guess i might be the last person installing Android on his HTC BlackStone (TouchHD) on earth, but when i try to i stick in the message "Waiting for SD card". I looked aroudn at internet and tried many different 'working' packages, all with hte same result.

I turned of DATA, BT and WIFI as well the automatic background light.

What can i do more ? I used XANDROID6.1.10, FROYO2.2.1 CBV2, FRX05 but all off them are resulting in the same 'error'.

HELP

Corne
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
I used xdandroid for a while, but the blackstone just doesnt have the memory and processor for it to be a nice experience. (slow and laggy)

If i were you, i would bother and stick to a cooked 6.5x rom :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] knifeproz:
Hey everyone. I just got the HTC hd2 and my friend rooted it with Android for me and I'm satisfied. What bugs me though is that my album artwork isn't synced properly.

Say I have the "devil wears prada - zombie" album. Instead of the zombie album cover, I have a different the "devil wears prada" album cover, for example louder than thunder. Some songs have a totally different band's album cover, and its usually the same one. I can't find a sync button for the covers.

On win mobile 6.5 there was an update artwork button, and it worked fine. but I can't find one on android. Is there a way to update it? Or a different music app maybe? I'm using the one that comes with android.

I don't know if it matters but the music is on the SD card and I'm running gingerbread 2.3. Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] knifeproz:
I solved the problem - I got the ³(cubed) music player and it has its own function to update album artwork and to look for artwork manually.

If anyone's comes across this problem, I recommend this app.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lozone:
If you have the music player from honeycomb, it will do this if ou are syncing in accounts settings with your gmail account.

The same thing happened to me.

I stopped the music sync and everything went back to normal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] knifeproz:
Interesting. Thanks for the info!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] c130pilot:
If you haven't seen it already the new Amazon Market has Shazam Encore for free today!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jddunkley:
Dude I'm loving this free app every day thing!! I downloaded that this morning! Hopefully it'll be the same as the Market, once you've signed in to Amazon after flashing a new Rom, think it'll have your "purchased" apps available?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moxie13:
Thanks for the heads up
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
I would hope so, if not use titanium any ways you should be fine cuz youve "purchased" the app for free, they send you an email about your purchase for a reason.

I hate this free app a day thing, my phone is gonna be soo bloated now :p time to start moving apps to external sd.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MilkPudding:
I'm really happy that Amazon is having all the free apps!

Back to OP, I've done a comparison of Shazam with SoundHound today and realized that Shazam is pretty bad compared to SoundHound. It's so much slower and its music library is small.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thegreatcity:
+1 SoundHound is much better. Used to swear by Shazam until I found it.
[Epic 4G General] algorhythm:
Is there ANY way to do this? I tried downloading an application called Vlingo but it won't let me use my bluetooth headset to respond to text messages. All of the searches I do have to do with "Google Voice" rather than "Google voice-to-text" :(.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Google "Voice Actions" is what you are looking for I think, but I have lost my 50th(I really don't think this is an exaggeration) Bluetooth headset a week or so ago - and haven't ever tried it - probably just going to not use BT ever again cause I can't keep the damn things. :o

[Xoom General] Lemontongs:
So I have a Samsung Focus that can tether over USB only (so far) and I am getting the wi-fi xoom in a few days (wooo!). I was wondering if anybody more intelligent than myself in this area knows if it would be possible to tether one to the other as the xoom now has support to be a USB host.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Well, not only would you need the adapter, but you would also need to figure out how to make Android support RNDIS...i assume WP7 uses that...i dunno.
[Xoom General] Lemontongs:
I'm not sure. I agree with you that WP7 probably uses RNDIS, i did a quick google (RNDIS android) and found a lot of kernel compiling (not very familiar to me). Maybe I should just wait until WP7 get wifi tethering, but that could be years haha. Does anybody have any good insight?
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
Hi everyone, i have one question..

Is possible to unRoot this phone + install official eclair ?

because I don't know whether I want root + custom rom or no :)

thx
[XPERIA X8 General] kecil26:
yes,after u messing around with ur phone then decide to go back to stock rom..u can always used pc companion to get back ur out-of-the-box rom :D

Edit:and i strongly recommend u to make a backup before start messing around with ur phone :D
[XPERIA X8 General] stevicc:
ked si to potom unrootnes a hodis spat originalnu romku cez seus, tak sa ti vrati aj zaruka
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
podla mna ani nemusi unrootnut :D iba cez seus flashnut eclair a je to :)
[XPERIA X8 General] stevicc:
riadne slovakov nas tu je :D
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
aha, diky, ale ako pozeram tak by sa to malo dat aj cez xRecovery - backop/restore.. cize to je dobre..
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
Ok, so last question.

I have:

root,busybox,xRecovery+backup done.

Last thing which I want is custom ROM. But how and which?

Example CM7 v006. I found in pack update.zip + other files like BASEBAND or livewallpapers.... I only have to open xRec. And install update.zip from SD?

Or... Thx for help...
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
najprv pozri nastavenie->informacie o telefone->verzia zakladneho pasma, ak nekonci na 15, tak otvor priecinok beseband, spusti x10flashtool.exe, klikni na flash a potom na to, kde je v Branding napisane Baseband_15 a postupuj podla obrazovky :D

ak si uz predtym mal na konci 15 alebo si to uz spravil ako som to napisal vyssie, daj update.zip na kartu a v xrecovery daj install update.zip from sd card, pockaj rebootni a malo by to byt :D ale nezabudni predtym ako nainstalujes update.zip spravit zalohu !!! :)
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
OK, BASEBAND pravdepodobne mam

+ cital som, ze niektori davaju po instalacii update.zip aj factory reset alebo nieco take, to nemam robit?
[XPERIA X8 General] fifo171:
ja som to nerobil a slo mi to dobre :D ani to asi nemusis robit lebo J to tam nema napisane

edit : a preco si to zaciernoval ??? ja mam to iste :D M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
[XPERIA X8 General] 72andrew72:
ja neviem sam :D keby nieco.. :D

ok uz to mam aj ja, vyzera to celkom dobre, aspon tam nemam tie idiotiny od SE co len pamat zeru..

SE was my favorite phone from the first i got my k510, and since then i never turned over to other brand. When i heard people are talking about android phone that makes me made up my mind to buy one, i choose SE. I love this phone and i'm starting to enjoy android OS, especially the development of it. But SE is very late on upgrading their android phones and now is the worst that there are no updates for my phone i'm very dissapointed about it and i don't think i can trust SE again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blagus:
The solution is simple: bypass loader on X10 Mini/X8 too, load custom kernel, overclock the processor. SE will be scared and update it. Same thing happened with big X10.

Yeah dude...it HAD been a great company.....but now after their android smartphones...they have made a huge mistake.....thanks to us for being "loyal customers"......F*** u SE!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CM-PRo:
Dude its easy to say but difficult to do!

BTW, wolfbreak was able to boot with a custom kernel with froyo 2.2.1 on his X10........the X10 owners are getting great developments but we guys aren't...thats unfortunate really.... :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
Nah, it'll run MEEGO.

I'm just sick of the fragmentation that occurs with android's lower end models, like the x10 mini. What's to say they won't do the same thing with updates on their new range of xperia phones (for example the XPERIA PRO or the NEO).

Once bitten, twice shy unfortunately

cool mann! Can u just get us a stable one ASAP? You rock bro!

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Nitroboy77:
You're damn right..next phone is gonna be Samsung galaxy s 2 or sth like that..

@owain: you and the other guys handling to crack/bypass bootloader do a f***ing good job! i love you! <3 :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blåburk:
I can join in this choir of complaints.

The biggest folly SE did with the Mini/Pro was selling a phone with a dated OS but quite good hardware.

Today they are launching the Arc, Play and a couple more... This time they got the OS right but with dated hardware. The Arc got the same CPU and GPU as the half a year old Desire HD.

Bought the DHD instead of the Xperia Arc...

See what's coming next year from the manufacturers and if I still want a new handset then.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dr.4x4:
SE .. If you want to act stupid .. please get back to the stupid symbian OS !

what is the point of getting android without getting updates ?!

at least till the consumers before buying that this device will get only the X.X update

NO MORE SONY ERICSSON
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] supermansaga:
I am already using [ROM] xCyanogenPro - Gigglebread - v5.0. Who needs to wait for SE itself till Q2 and Q3?:D Well, the camera isn't really working in this version though...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kvNN_:
Will it be possible to port 2.3.3 to our device

With fewer bugs than gigglebread v5? :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mozart40:
perhaps a stupid question: has our devs benefits of the 2.3.3-Version from the big X10. Is the port for x10 mini (pro) easier?

bye
